We have heard that Gaians have assisted Battlegroup Harmony in their struggle to survive the government forces' onslaught. While your support is undoubtedly much valued, your willingness to dabble in our House's domestic struggles without even informing your partners in Liberty is a bit worrisome.
With that being said, we would like to inquire whether you're interested in providing further support in an upcoming extraction operation.

Good evening, mister Yoshida.
I am Thomas Wallace, a former major of the Hellfire Legion now in service of the Guard. Your proposal is... Interesting, however, I cannot say whether we would be willing to assist without having more information.
I'd like to ask for an elaboration on the matter before we proceed further.
Firstly, I would like to applaude you for this change in your career. The Gaian plight is a worthy cause, unlike the one you served before. We are always interested in purchasing any useful intel you have on the Legion.
While you have not addressed that little issue I mentioned earlier, we will accept your offer of assistance. The Battlegroup is currently stranded in Puerto Rico, after a valiant escape from the New Hampshire star system. During the escape, they lost one of their major capital ships. Despite Unioner supplies, certain commodities remain in critical levels and only emergency repairs have been conducted, thus, the next destination is our base in Magellan. We would like to ask you to dispatch a Gaian wing operating in California for this operation, they will participate as escorts. Operational difficulty is expected to be much lower than the previous one.

I am, as it stands, a libertonian. I assumed that my former Legion affilation would explain my interest in meddling with Liberty's affairs, even if I'm not serving a libertonian organisation anymore.
I also have to point out that the elaboration you provided is still somewhat limited. We have no information about the... "operational difficulty" of Harmony's extraction from New Hampshire. What kind of opposition do you expect? Is there a possibility that Liberty Navy has predicted Harmony's further movement? What is the current status of the battlegroup?
The Liberty Navy used a large portion of its reserve forces in New York and Virginia to blockade and destroy the remaining pockets of =LSF= and Harmony in Alaska system. The operation was daring and without thorough intelligence we wouldn't be able to pull it off.
As they are unable to move their heavier assets in time, we believe they dedicated their remaining assets in stopping the fugitives from escaping to Rheinland. However, as I mentioned before, the plan is to move westwards, to Magellan. Subsequently, we don't expect to encounter an organized response by the governmental forces.
The operation is due to take place on Saturday, the RV with your wing will take place in California. They might not expect us there but the Cortez and Magellan star systems are nowadays warzones and thus your assistance will be most valuable.
From: Major Thomas Wallace, Gaian Guard Subject: Extraction Source: Newcastle Encryption:High Priority:High
Very well. I will have a small wing sent to California. They will keep a low profile and await the exact time frame of the operation.
You may be forced to excuse their somewhat... harsh approach to you and your men, mister Yoshida. Most of my colleagues still hold a few hard feelings towards the Hackers from their time within the Legion. Nevertheless, I can assure you that their commander will keep them in check, and no major incidents will take place.
With deep regret I wish to inform you that the Harmony is seemingly disbanded, the survivors dispersed as the chain of command has collapsed. Subsequently the extraction operation is cancelled for an indefinite amount of time.
Furthermore, I would like to inform you that I am going to make an announcement later this day. I have made a few tweaks on its encryption so that you will be able to intercept the message and view its content.
